Desktop search engines?
Really useful stuff! If you want to find anything on your computer FAST I recommend using it.
Example? type in a variable name and it will find you every occurence of it in code, or type your friends mail to search in documents for any occurance.
In Linux you have two choices Tracker and Beagle. These are mostly embeded tools (ex in Ubuntu) just pick up text box and it will find keyword you typed in every document (Word, PDF, ect.) stored in place you defined to be watched (indexed). Both tools are integrated with kernel, what makes them even more reliable and faster.
In Windows environment you can choose between Google Desktop Search and Copernic Software. In my humble opinion Google is not a match for Coperinc.
But those two are not a match for the Linux ones :) . And again, Copernic is useful but only the basic version is free.
This is just a brief information about search tehnique, if you really want it go for it by your self.
